( إِنْ هُوَ إِلا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى ) — "It is nothing but a revelation that is revealed" — he said: Allah, blessed and exalted is He, reveals to Jibrāʾīl, and Jibrīl reveals to Muḥammad ﷺ.
And it has been said: by His word ( وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى ) ("and he does not speak from desire") is meant: out of desire.
